Guest guest Posted February 21, 2001 Report Share Posted February 21, 2001 I get really confused by the 10% carb in vegies. Is a green salad okay? What type of dressing is the best? Celery with Peanut Butter is my favorite! What other vegies should I be eating on the intro diet? Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2001 Report Share Posted February 21, 2001 Lettuce, cucumber, tomato in moderation is okay, green beans, spinach...green veggies mostly. Check the USDA website for carb counts to see if your favorite veggies are low carb: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl . I often have salads with lettuce, cucumber, some shredded cheese, a little onion and maybe a few other things that happen to be on the salad bar. Ranch and Italian are generally the lowest carb dressings, but you have to read the labels because every brand varies. Personally I can't give up my French so I use Henri's French which has 5g per 2 tablespoons. It's not the lowest in carbs but it makes my salads palatable. 249.5/206.9/135LC since 6/26/00http://www.geocities.com/rhiannon828/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 My favorite is 1000 island and I didn't give it up the first time around and had no problem. If I want to watch the carbs in the dressing I'll mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with mayonnaise, I still get my 1000 island taste with 1/2 the carbs.
